Some People Are Odd/stupid

[sherrardk]

Himself used to play some on line game and stopped. Now some bloke (who used to be in his 'gang' in this game) wants to buy his 'stuff' for $500. I (obviously) don't understand any of this, but $500!

Is it real $ or play money he wants to buy with?

[sherrardk]

Real money. Apparently it does happen a lot, but himself is in the top 100 players of this particular game on a particular server (no idea what that means). I've just told himself not to accept bitcoins :( (no idea what they are either).

Some people ?

I don't see an issue with virtual stuff having value. One could consider weird buying a concert ticket as later on you have nothing to show for it. In both cases hopefully one gets entertainment. If it is worth $500 worth of entertainment then fine. Especially if they manage to sell the same stuff on for more later.

bitcoins proved a wise gamble for some. Suspect the boat has been missed now re massive profit, but you never know.

Hi sher, it is difficult to understand, how does he get paid, and is it worth more if that's a first offer

[hc4361]

I sold my online gaming life for a nice sum. I won't say which game it was because it is strictly against the rules but I did have years of fun playing.

[sherrardk]

I don't understand it all but himself thinks it is an excellent price (he gave some stuff away too).

[sherrardk]

Sorry, he's going to get paid through Paypal.

[sherrardk]

Ah bless, himself has gotten all giddy waiting for the 'money' to transfer - I think he is going to be disappointed (but if he's not, I'm banking on a curry this weekend).

[Psybbo]

Well done him, which thing is your Avatar?

[sherrardk]

That's thing 1 - I've had to stick up for her this week, so she's my avatar so I don't start getting wussy again :)

[sherrardk]

Flipping heck - the bloke's actually paid.

curry all round!
